The rumors are true. The J. Geils Band will reunite to perform during the opening week of the new House of Blues in Boston at 8 p.m. Feb. 19.

It’ll be the first time the band - Peter Wolf, Magic Dick, Seth Justman, Danny Klein and Jay Geils - has played together in 10 years. Calling it quits in 1985, they’ve performed at a handful of charity events over the years such as at a benefit for the Worcester firefighters at the Orpheum Theatre as well as a benefit for the Cam Neely Foundation.

Tickets for the show are $45, $125 and $160 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 30 at livenation.com, hob.com/boston and Ticketmaster outlets.
